In this poignant episode of Friends season 2, Mr. Heckles, the grumpy neighbor of Monica Geller (played by Courteney Cox) and Rachel Green (played by Jennifer Aniston) leaves behind his worldly possessions to the girls, which turns out to be a collection of oddities they must dispose of.

Throughout his remarkable career spanning over three decades in the entertainment industry, Matthew Perry ventured into numerous romantic relationships, some of which were highly publicised, involving prominent figures like Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz.
